The Rockefeller Apartments were commissioned by Nelson Rockefeller and built in 1936 by Wallace Harrison and Andre Fouilhoux. The buildings are connected by a shared garden and feature tawny brick facades and curved windows.
In addition to the garden, amenities at Rockefeller Apartments include 24-hour doorman service, a central laundry room, and private storage. Notable past residents include publisher Alfred A. Knopf and fashion critic Elsa Klensch.
Many units in Rockefeller Apartments enjoy views of the nearby MoMA's Sculpture Garden. The complex is located a short distance from Rockefeller Center, the Theater District, Saks Fifth Avenue, Bergdorf Goodman, and Central Park.
